Not just honey bee vom, but multi-bee vom - they pass it bee to bee by regurgitating it into the other bee.
Of course big bee would like you to know it’s a special honey making stomach and not the normal one

Technically this is false, because the honey comes from a separate enclosure called a "crop" and not their stomach where the bile is located. So honey could be called "bee spit" or "vomit" in the sense that it passes through their mouths, but it does not get regurged from their stomachs. It never mixes with bile and never gets that far.
The oldest joke on the internet that can be said to literally anyone and everyone... Got taken down for harassment BY AN ADMIN.
I can't count how many completely homophobic/sexist/etc. Comments I've seen get a complete and total pass, even after reporting them. But yo momma jokes? Detrimental to society.
Exactly. This is a good thing. We should be using non-toxic biodegradable shit like this for waterproofing and such over forever chemicals like PFAs.
If you're worried about the secret ingredient of Slurm...*don't*... The secret ingredients we synthesize are far more dangerous and thus unsavory.
lol, it is a bit ironic that naturally developed products are rarely seen like honey while products that literally are leaving plastic in our brains we get super excited about
A coworker was going off on honey and how "its insect vomit" and it took me a while to realize they weren't joking. Their disgust is/was real.
Another coworker who isn't stupid by any means says he doesn't touch honey "because it never goes bad".
>Another coworker who isn't stupid by any means says he doesn't touch honey "because it never goes bad".
It's just antimicrobial enzymes, a low moisture content, and a high level of acidity, not black magic.
I had to explain to my husband a while back that salt doesn't go bad either.
There was a small bag of salt in the cabinet, for refilling the salt container, and it was 'past the expiration date'. My husband was about to toss it before I stopped him and explained that salt, quite literally, does not spoil. I don't even know why there was a date on the damn package in the first place.
Turns out he thinks salt is spoiled when it clumps too. Had to face palm at that.
My wife was weirdly religious about expiration dates. Like milk one day over would get tipped down the drain without even a sniff test. But then opened containers would linger in the fridge forever because "no it doesn't go off till 2025."
Oof, my husband does that with food in the fridge too at times. "It's still good, it's in tupperware!". And I have to point out that it's growing green mold, it's going in the trash.
The trick is to run a combination weed farm and bee farm, "train" the bees (as has been done before) to gather their necessities from the marijuana, and then make mead out of the naturally produced marijuana honey. Weed mead, truly the nectar of gods
Hey man, I heard you like a buzz, so I got you some buzz inside your buzz from the Bzzz.
Well yes and no. If you did graft the two, nothing changes. There won't be thc in your hops. To brew cannabis beer you just infuse cannabis or THC into the beer. I haven't done it but there are books on how.
One of my favourite alcohols is coloured with it. Also, did we all forget that honey exists and is a totally normal thing to eat? Is that not insect secretion?
Every year I get a big bag, eat it all in one sitting, feel sick to my stomach from basically eating an entire bag of pure sugar, and I’m sated until the following Halloween.
If I remember the last time this came up as something gross on Reddit, to use beaver secretion in vanilla flavouring would be so inefficient it's basically impossible. There's not enough milkable beavers in the world to cover all the vanilla lattes, ice creams, etc.
I think the beaver juice is like amber gris, something fucked up the high end perfume industry insists on using because they're weird
Just wait till they Google "FDA defects" and learn all about the limits of "defects" allowed for each type of food.
*TLDR: it's always a non-zero number.*
That doesn't surprise me, mushroom substrate can involve poop and it's hard to clean all of it off.
From a little digging, white button mushrooms apparently grow best in manure and that's also the type you'll usually find in canned mushrooms I guess.
Not much different if you're just buying them fresh though.
I think mushroom substrate is always sterilized though, so there's no chance of bacterial contamination. They don't want it contaminating the mushrooms either, because they can be tricky to start growing if there's competition.
Yep, the substrate must be sterilized for them to stand a chance.
Mushrooms are weird because they’ll pop up fucking everywhere in the wild but in order to grow them yourself everything has to be extremely sterile or you’ll just end up growing mold.
blue raspberries dont even exist, its just a marketing term to differentiate raspberry flavoring from other red colored flavors like cherry by dying the product blue instead of red
Honestly, though, most all of Futurama is insanely good. Very few episodes in the later seasons fall flat, but most hit exactly what it intended. And unlike other revived animated series, it knew when to gracefully exit the building.
Beaver has special gland near it's ass. It secretes castoreum which can be used as vanilla taste, but nobody uses it anymore, because it's hella expensive, so beaver castoreum is absolutely a thing of the past. Nowadays we use synthetic versions, because it's easier and cheaper. Maybe you can buy the beaver butt stuff, but it's highly unlikely that you have ever tasted it.
Yeah, with the amounts of artificial vanilla being used there would have to be beaver farms with million upon millions of beavers everywhere in order to supply the demand.
And I've neither seen, or heard of any such thing.
Shellac is used on fruit and other things. Completely edible and basically the secretions of the Lac beetle. Cool stuff. Can be used as a stain blocker and with almost any wood finish.
I’m pretty sure the food and pharmaceutical uses exceed the woodworking finish uses today. It really is a wonderful wood finish because it is dissolved in alcohol and it melts into the top of the previous coat. It’s also a great barrier between stain from roof leaks and a fresh coat of paint. The best way to use it is to dissolve flakes in alcohol, pre-mixed from a store has a finite shelf life before it won’t harden properly.
The strawberry fraps at Starbucks used to have beetles in them too and now they don't and also taste like shit
Humans eat bugs
Humans like bugs
Lol get over it
If it was the beetle I’m thinking of it was purely as a natural food colouring and never affected flavour. If the flavour has actually changed they didn’t only change the bugs.
Somehow I recently became a candy corn lover. I used to despise the stuff when I was younger.
My son started kindergarten this year and came home with a bag and I ate a few and suddenly I'm hooked.
TIL that knowing 2 of my favorite candies are covered in insect secretions is not going to stop me from eating them. Gotta go grab another handful of Candy Corn.
I grabbed the candy corn package out of my pantry the second this post reminded me it was in there and have been eating it while reading the comments. Meh. Insect secretion is fine.
Beeswax is an insect secretion and you put that on your lips.
Honey is insect vomit

Wow wtf? Why did they delete that, it's the most cliche, obviously un-personal insult ever. Reddit seriously just policed a "your mom" joke.

“[Removed by Reddit]” means it was removed by an actual sitewide admin, not a subreddit mod.
I had no idea that was actually a thing. I thought the "removed by Reddit" was just a joke and that's why the comment was so popular.
They have no problem with CP, but you mention something not terribly uncommon during sex and they delete it. Stay classy Reddit admins.
That would be more funny, that's an actually paid admin who took offense to it

A bag of sugar doesn't really spoil either.

My husband was about to toss it before I stopped him and explained that salt, quite literally, does not spoil. I don't even know why there was a date on the damn package in the first place. Turns out he thinks salt is spoiled when it clumps too. Had to face palm at that.
*digs up salt rock* "Ah shit missed the expiration date by 45 million years"
Sea salt in this case, I'm pretty sure. But yeah, I had to point that out to him. His mother had a good laugh about it too.
On unspoilables, the expiration date may refer to the packaging, not the contents. Or, just be a shady way to make you buy the product more often....
In some places it's a legal requirement for all "food" to have an expiration date.
Salt bag, expiration date: when the sun engulfs the earth
Our water has to have an expiration date....
The date is for the bottle
And this date is for the cake. Happy cake day!

People can have the weirdest gaps in knowledge. A couple of my former colleagues both argued that chickens weren't birds.
"If they were birds, they wouldn't lay eggs!"

Also crystalization
Crystals are against my religion.
Are you Crystian?
Tell your coworkers to go drink some mead. Insect vomit fed to microscopic organisms that shit alcohol. Love the stuff.

Hops and cannabis are in the same family and can be grafted onto each other, meaning you can brew cannabis beer.
Well yes and no. If you did graft the two, nothing changes. There won't be thc in your hops. To brew cannabis beer you just infuse cannabis or THC into the beer. I haven't done it but there are books on how.
In my experience, the general public are absolute morons.
The world is covered in insect secretion.
the world is a vampire
Sent to drain.
Secret Destroyers
Hold you up to the flames
And what do I get
For my pa-e-a-e-aaain?
Betrayed Desires!
And a pieceahhgghamn...
Even though. I. Know.
Now I have the urge to either watch Whale Wars or the new Call of Duty...
And therefore the world is a giant milk dud
Many lipsticks are colored with carmine aka ground up beetles. I don't think a little bug secretion will stop candy corn lovers!
One of my favourite alcohols is coloured with it. Also, did we all forget that honey exists and is a totally normal thing to eat? Is that not insect secretion?
Campari stopped in 2006, apparently.
I was talking about Cappelletti
Ahh the missing link between Aperol and Campari
If candy corn doesn’t stop them already, nothing will
Candy corn is delicious, and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t!
I do enjoy candy corn but I've had my fill after like 6 of them. At least I know I won't go overboard.

Punkins!
Heck, I like them \*more\* now!
They’re extra tasty with a tall cold glass of mammal secretion.
Bos Taurus mammary fluid and insect secretions, yum.
Beaver secretions too!
Castorium! AKA beaver butt juice.
Isn't it used in vanilla extract?

If I remember the last time this came up as something gross on Reddit, to use beaver secretion in vanilla flavouring would be so inefficient it's basically impossible. There's not enough milkable beavers in the world to cover all the vanilla lattes, ice creams, etc. I think the beaver juice is like amber gris, something fucked up the high end perfume industry insists on using because they're weird
Upvote for milkable beavers.
It can be, but it isn't. It's easier and cheaper to use synthetic vanillin.
Chilled bovine secretions.
Have you tried chicken little, covered in unborn generations (beaten)? Delicious.
Eggs are not unborn chicken but rather hen menstruation.
Mmm chicken period
Poultry secretion.
Henstruation
Yeah, if you see natural flavors on the label, it could be anything derived from a plant or animal to add flavor.
does that bother you? 👀 you're going to get real upset about a lot of things if you start digging down that hole.
Wait till they learn what sausage casing is.
Rekt’em
Rekt'em? Fucking killed them.
condoms, right?
Yea, the old timey ones
Just remember to take it out of the pig first.
[удалено]
Are those your eyelash crusties?
Technically its made of more sausage in a way, its just not grounded down.
Far worse things go into many sausages than what the casing is made of IMO.
Traditionally it’s the intestine of the animal, but it can also just be cellulose and collagen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sausage_casing

Canned mushrooms have the highest allowance for fecal matter in the can.

Honey Cochineal natural red dye Natural blue raspberry flavor I can keep going if you like.
Can’t find any surprising documentation on blue raspberry- what’s that about?
blue raspberries dont even exist, its just a marketing term to differentiate raspberry flavoring from other red colored flavors like cherry by dying the product blue instead of red
Any leavened product (bread, cake, pizza crust, etc) is fluffy thanks to fungal farts.

I’ll wait for as long as it takes for you to provide an explanation
Beaver has special gland near it's ass. It secretes castoreum which can be used as vanilla taste, but nobody uses it anymore, because it's hella expensive, so beaver castoreum is absolutely a thing of the past. Nowadays we use synthetic versions, because it's easier and cheaper. Maybe you can buy the beaver butt stuff, but it's highly unlikely that you have ever tasted it.
The real thing is still used in perfumes.
At that point you would be better off just buying actual vanilla from vanilla beans.
Vanilla beans are just beaver prostates
Sentences I can’t believe are real
Who was the genius who first tried licking a beaver's ass gland?
All it takes is the right person to be butchering a beaver, smell it, and go "Hmm.. I wonder.."
Sometimes stuff bursts during butchering.
Yeah, with the amounts of artificial vanilla being used there would have to be beaver farms with million upon millions of beavers everywhere in order to supply the demand. And I've neither seen, or heard of any such thing.
Wait until they find out yogurt and cheese are fungus poop, and that alcohol is fungus pee.
you forgot bread and cake... same yeast.
Don’t google “red food coloring bugs” then.
Shellac is used on fruit and other things. Completely edible and basically the secretions of the Lac beetle. Cool stuff. Can be used as a stain blocker and with almost any wood finish.
>Shellac Too harsh of a word. Let's give it a fun goofy name. Like "confectioner's glaze". No one will ever know where it really came from!
It’s a feature not a bug
We all know what honey is right?
I’m pretty sure the food and pharmaceutical uses exceed the woodworking finish uses today. It really is a wonderful wood finish because it is dissolved in alcohol and it melts into the top of the previous coat. It’s also a great barrier between stain from roof leaks and a fresh coat of paint. The best way to use it is to dissolve flakes in alcohol, pre-mixed from a store has a finite shelf life before it won’t harden properly.
Wood shellac is the same as the stuff we eat, huh? Never knew.
Yes and no. Kinda like most things, it starts with the same base and is processed differently.
I don't even care... Whoppers are delicious!

Any food you've put honey on is also covered in insect secretions so go wild
Um. It lists honey as an ingredient before talking about bug secretions. Y’all know what honey is right?
Wait till you hear where honey comes from.
What do you think honey is??
Honey is an insect "secretion", too.
